A message from Amatus Health CEO Mark Gold

To Our Dedicated Amatus Team Members:

As we follow the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) on the global community, the health and safety of our employees and clients remains our top priority.

Our company serves a population that needs us the most during this most unsettling and unprecedented time. We, as the corporate teams, hold vital functions to support and allow our front lines, our facilities, to operate and provide quality care. Because our facilities’ services are contingent on our work, our offices will remain open until mandated otherwise by governing bodies.

Just as it is our mission to care for our clients and be there in time of need, it is on that same token that we take pride in caring for the needs of our employees. To that end, please:

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid close contact with anyone who is sick.

Stay home when you are sick.

When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with fixed elbow or tissue, and throw away the tissue immediately, wash hands after as well.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Do not shake hands.

Maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet whenever possible.

We recognize that you may have concerns and circumstances that would make it difficult for you to work from the office. If this is the case, please reach out to your supervisor to discuss further. Depending on your role, scope of responsibilities and the reason for your absence, you may be allowed to work from home at your supervisor’s discretion. If remote work doesn’t meet the approved criteria or if working remotely is not possible, you will be asked to utilize your PTO if you do not wish to come to the office.

We have amazing teams across Amatus and its companies. This moment reminds us that we’re all connected. We’re called upon to be our best selves with patience, understanding and compassion, so that we may stay committed and persevere together in all the days and years ahead.

As we go forward, we’ll be sure to keep you updated, and know that we always value your questions and feedback.

Women’s Rehab Program

When you suffer addiction, getting help is never easy. This decision becomes even harder to make when you fear ng discomfort in the mixed company of men and women. Many people feel the same way, usually because of past trauma, cultural differences between the genders or society’s pressures on women. Whatever your reason for seeking a women’s rehab program, your journey begins in women’s detox.

Drug Addiction Is Different for Men and Women

The reasons why there are separate women’s rehab program and men’s rehab program facilities begins with gender difference in drug use. According to a national study called Drug Use and Gender, addiction studies focused on men until the 1980s. Although these studies followed women after this time, men still suffered addiction in greater numbers. Men also vary in other ways from women in addiction, including that women:

Don’t start using drugs as young as men

Use less drugs and use them less frequently

Smoke and drink alcohol in lower percentages than men

Don’t engage in binge drinking as often

Almost half the number of women engage in drug use, compared to men. About 12 percent of males over the age of 12 use drugs. Only about 7.3 percent of females over the age of 12 abuse substances, according to the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

Where a Women’s Rehab Program Begins

If you suffer addiction and are a female, it is not unusual to seek a women’s rehab program to launch your recovery. A women’s rehab program provides a sense of safety, security, and privacy during treatment. Men feel the same about male-only programs. So how do you begin a women’s rehab program? Women’s rehab begins with women’s detox. In a female-only detox program, you have the privacy you want to focus on the withdrawal process. You don’t worry about how you look. There are no concerns about being safe and you don’t feel obligated to hide out in your room. In a women’s detox program, you are among women who understand exactly what you’re going through and what you need to get addiction help. It is in women’s detox that your recovery begins. Detox is the first big step into sobriety. You need comfort, support, guidance and safety throughout this time. Knowing your female peers in detox feel the same way and understand you starts your recovery on the right foot.
